Blood Blockade Battlefront
Also known as: Kekkai Sensen, 血界戦線, Kekkai Sensen - Mafugai Kessha, Kekkai Sensen - Mafuugai Kessha, Ketsu-kai Sensen, Ketsukai Sensen
by Yasuhiro Nightow
Three years ago, a gateway between Earth and the Beyond opened over the city of New York. In one terrible night, New York was destroyed and rebuilt, trapping New Yorkers and extra-dimensional creatures alike in an unassailable island, a world all its own hidden in the mist of its physics-defying waterfalls. New York has been rechristened Jerusalem's Lot, a paranormal melting pot where magic and madness dwell alongside the mundane, where every form of human vermin gathers to exploit otherworldly assets for earthly profit. Now someone is threatening to breach the controlled flow of unharmful, average humans and items in and (much more rarely) out of the city and thereby release Jerusalem's Lot's deluge of horrors on The Outside. The mysterious super-agents of Libra fight the impossible to prevent the unthinkable. (Source: Dark Horse) Note: Includes the one-shot "Kekkai Sensen: Mafuugai Kessha".

Read the full take
Blood Blockade Battlefront begins three years after a gateway between Earth and the Beyond opens over New York. In one terrible night the city is destroyed and rebuilt as Jerusalem's Lot, an island hidden in the mist of physics-defying waterfalls. It is a paranormal melting pot, where magic and madness dwell alongside the mundane, and every kind of opportunist gathers to exploit the otherworldly. The premise is a vivid, strange setting with a chaotic energy.The series is most fun when its ensemble of odd characters collides in episode-sized set pieces. Each chapter explores a different corner of the island, and the comedy and action sit side by side with confidence.The weaknesses are violence that can be intense and an episodic structure that can feel loose. Readers who enjoy offbeat urban fantasy with a sense of humour will find an energetic read. Those wanting a steady narrative may find it scattered, though the setting is memorable.
